Sage Canyon California Red Blend 2020

Good! Mid weight red with some sweetness up front and a mellow, short end. Good for the price. — 6 days ago

Hohenmorgen GG Riesling 2020

Zingy lemon acidity and minerality. This is aging at a glacial pace which is quite annoying...could be this years wine. Come back in 5-10 years. — 9 months ago

Wow. That is incredible. I mean, we are talking about a Riesling!!

Château Pontet-Canet

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2014

Lovely nose of slow cooked beef and heirloom pork, red and black roses, brown bread stuffing, fine tabak, vanilla-in-bread, dusty black cherry, dried black currant and espresso powder. Black olive rounds the palate in a textural wave that intensifies to charred grape gravy, very sharp forest berry, lavender, holly, pine nettle, and sage. Younger offering here but fully integrated and freshly offering dark bark and dark castings with lively fruit and floral punctuation.

Jesuitengarten Großes Gewächs Riesling 2022

This was probably too young but already a banger. Proper Pfalz Riesling with lots of barriquey goodness and petrol. Balanced acidity. Love this — a month ago

Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2016

Black cherries stand out against earthy beet and blackberry. Graphite rings and smoke curls around bay and sage, acanthus and peppercorn. Green in spots and muted on the palate, this one is unfortunately young and missing something. Pepper and cedar overpower the fruits and the tannins are aggressive here, giving a stemmy impression. May develop over time but gangly and awkward here.

Nice acidity. Great with good. Lively and fruity — 3 years ago

Château Mouton Rothschild

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend

Dali vintage. Still super alive and young, what fun wine to drink alongside Dali’s Wines of Gala book. Most of the fruit is gone, lots of terroir shining through — grape seeds and clay. Some sage / menthol. Literally no oxidative notes — 3 years ago

In a perfect drinking window. Mature dry Riesling that is fully resolved. — 7 months ago

Pechstein Großes Gewächs Riesling 2004

Surprisingly young for a 20 year old. Orange and Citrus peel, some secondary notes, very good length and freshness. Delivered the goods with our pasta with summer truffles. — 7 months ago

Corison

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2000

Absolutely gorgeous and unique. For a 23yo wine the complexity on the nose and palate is still bumpin, and the tannins are silky and smooth, with a little grab here and there just to let you know it’s past. Nose of rich dark berries, old driftwood (from Collin) with a medium body that’s fruit forward, somewhat smoky, and beautifully balanced with hints of dried herbs, and sage. Absolutely amazing. — a year ago
